Streamer Information
Demo Pacing
The demo is divided into three levels. We’ve seen people play it in anything from four to nine hours, depending on everything from how they read the lines to how many distractions come up in chat. If you want to pace yourself, here’s what you need to know about the three levels.
- First level: The easiest puzzles. You’re just getting to know the world and its mechanics.
- Second level: The longest level! There are lots of characters to meet and two meaty puzzles to solve.
- Third level: Shorter than the second level, but it definitely has the hardest puzzle.
Cheat Sheet
Streaming a puzzle game can be a unique challenge because you have to think hard while also staying present with your audience in chat. The demo has been thoroughly playtested and includes plenty of guardrails to keep players moving, and most streamers we’ve watched have been able to balance both. Still, a lively chat can make it harder to give a puzzle your full attention - it happens!
We encourage you to involve chat in solving with you. Or if you prefer, you can consult the cheat sheet! Because the demo does not currently include a hint system, we’ve put together a full walkthrough for those moments when you’re genuinely stuck. Use it whenever you need a nudge, then jump right back into the stream. Clicking on the link below will not spoil you on all the answers, and you’ll be able to click-to-reveal things as needed:
Streamer Mode
Slime is intended for mature audiences ages 17+. Please do not stream unless you are an adult! The dialogue and narration include copious references to drugs, alcohol, and debauchery, but the visuals are comparatively tame. There is no depiction of sex or genitalia, but there are brief moments of light nudity as well as depictions of sex toys. Streamer mode either pixelates or fully removes the nudity and sex toys. Streamer mode does not change any of the written narration or dialogue.
To enable streamer mode, press escape and then hit options in the menu that comes up. That will bring up a streamer mode checkbox. Streamer mode will take effect immediately when you check it.
Please Signal Boost Our Kickstarter

Twitch Category
If you’re streaming on Twitch, before you go live, open Edit Stream Info in your Twitch Creator Dashboard and set the Category to Slime in the Ice Machine. This places your stream in the game’s Twitch directory and helps viewers find it.
